Garcia vs Peterson at catch weight non unification fight !

[Cinci Champ]

wow that is really annoying! Imagine Peterson losing to Mattysse at 141 & Garcia at 143 but still champ at 140 lol. This fight is no longer that important without the belts on the line.

oh give me a break who honestly gives a **** about the belts i mean u honestly think its going to be less entertaining because its at a catch weight? please

[Pigeons]

The catchweight is disappointing. I would have preferred to see this fight at 140 lbs. for the WBA, WBC, IBF, The Ring, TBRB, and lineal junior welterweight titles. Peterson didn't fare well in his first fight above 140 lbs.

With that said, it doesn't change that Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson are fighting each other. It's a good fight and they should put on a good show for the prime time broadcast network television audience. And that's good for boxing.

You need to get your facts straight because that's incorrect. When Duran was lightweight champion he had more fights over the limit than he did at 135.

Like I said, Garcia is not the only fighter to do this.

Re-read what I said first:

he's (Danny) had more fights above the LWW weight limit in his career

Garcia was never a natural LWW to begin with, he was always too big for the weight class only making weight 9 times out of 29, they say he walks around at 170lbs.

Duran by contrast was a smaller guy coming up, and addressing your other point Duran fought 4+ times per year at least two of those per year as champion were at the LW limit of 135 or below.

People have been properly duped into thinking this is some amazing fight.

What the hell has Lamont PEDerson ever done apart from get a bogus hometown decision with the help of a referee, judges, man in black hat and being juiced off his **** on PEDs?

Who's left at 140ish . Only other option on Haymons side is Broner but that fight won't happen because when Garcia moves up Broners going to be fighting for his belts.

Lamont's good I thinks he's top 5 in his div. Should he still have that belt , no


I had Lamont winning that fight , it was close but I think khans team made a huge mistake even fighting him in his hometown. Khan team started to believe his own hype and put him in a bad position.

I think that's why their so carefull now because his team did a bad job with the Lamont and Garcia fights and it but them in the a$$.

It's an embarrassment that the likes of ****** and Void are allowed to hold belts hostage at weight classes they have no intention of competing against other contenders at. And this isn't even taking into account all the other titlists under that stable that are allowed to duck real threats and cherrypick lesser (often unranked) opposition.

Agree with all those posters saying Peterson is the ultimate paper champ. How he kept his belt after failing a drugs test and then getting sparked in one round is criminal. Now he can lose this one and then drop back down and keep defending it against gypsys like dierry jean.

Sorry but you're changing the subject and that doesn't work with me. You were complaining that Garcia has been fighting above 140 while being JWW champion. Duran did that far more than Garcia at 135 while he was lightweight champion. Fact. And Duran was not a small lightweight.

End of discussion.

Like I said before...a backyard BBQ fight.

Haymon is a crook who deserves to have his family beaten and ****d in front of him. This is a disgrace. A huge F U to all boxing fans.

Why haven't you been banned yet? You're obviously mentally disturbed.

[Scott9945]

It should be pretty obvious by now that Garcia will never be in a 140 lb title fight again.
